I thought that there was a blurb in either Chainmail or OD&D about magic users counter-spelling each other. Checking both, I found zip. This seems like something that would add another wrinkle to the game, along with the soon-to-be-introduced element of psionics. What might the procedures for counter-spells look like, if the game were to go down that road? Also, would it be possible, then, to carouse for the construction of magic items that would offer a bonus to counter-spell situations; would it presumably be like researching a spell? Something like a Headdress of Psychic Riposte would be a sweet addition to the game.
